I for one am against sacking the coach. It's very short sighted and akin to cutting your nose of to spite your face. Our problems are far more involved and our list still needs serious fine tuning. Without that you could put any of the great coaches going around at the helm and we'd still end up smelling like pooh!
Fwoy made some very good points especially our lack of a decent ruck dept this year. We get slaughtered there every week.
I too was expecting improvement this year but as Paul Keating once said "It was the recession we had to have".
Would Sheedy make any difference to our current situation?? I think not. What makes his situation at Essendon any different to here?? Their key senior players are aging, like ours, their recruitment in recent times has been ordinary, like ours, in actual fact I believe they are in the exact same position as we were last year and their "Recession" is yet to come. We've been fortunate enough to pick up some good youngsters in the last year or two whereas the Bombers have very limited young talent. We also now have the advantage of early draft pics whereas the bombers will probably end up in the death seat at seasons end just like we did. Even if they get to play finals they will probably be out in the first round.
So I'm prepared to give Terry the benefit of the doubt atm. To compare his tenure with Frawley's time here as some have done is farcical! He has a much better footy brain than Frawley, is doing what Frawley didn't by playing youngsters like Edwards, King, Riewoldt, Connors, McGuane, Thursfield and giving all players the opportunity to show their worth before further culling begins. As far as I'm concerned we are now building for next year and this is when I will expect to see us moving forward.
